Near surface westerly wind jet in the Atlantic ITCZ
[1] A suite of satellite data are used to study the near surface westerly winds developing during peak months (July–September) of the West African monsoon in the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone. These new data show that the westerlies appear in the form of a westerly jet. During peak years the daily near-surface westerly wind speed may exceed 10 ms . The amplitude of the jet displays su...
متن کاملThe salinity signature of the cross-shelf exchanges in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean: Satellite observations
Satellite-derived sea surface salinity (SSS) data from Aquarius and SMOS are used to study the shelf-open ocean exchanges in the western South Atlantic near 35°S. Away from the tropics, these exchanges cause the largest SSS variability throughout the South Atlantic. The data reveal a well-defined seasonal pattern of SSS during the analyzed period and of the location of the export of low-salinit...
متن کاملOscillations and running waves observed in sunspots
In order to study umbral oscillations, running penumbral waves and the relationship between them, we analyzed CCD, high resolution, sunspot observations obtained at center and the wings of the Hα line and the Fe I 5576 Å line. The UBF filter was used in order to produce high cadence sequences of filtergrams. Images were processed to remove the sharp intensity gradient between the umbra and the ...
متن کاملSeasonal ITCZ migration dynamically controls the location of the (sub)tropical Atlantic biogeochemical divide.
Inorganic nitrogen depletion restricts productivity in much of the low-latitude oceans, generating a selective advantage for diazotrophic organisms capable of fixing atmospheric dinitrogen (N2). However, the abundance and activity of diazotrophs can in turn be controlled by the availability of other potentially limiting nutrients, including phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe). Here we present high-res...
متن کاملSatellite radar anisotropy observed in urban areas
QuikSCAT backscatter is generally higher over urban areas than surrounding vegetated areas. Azimuthal anisotropy has been observed over some urban areas, but the strength of the azimuthal anisotropy in the urban backscatter signal has not been well quantified. This study investigates radar azimuthal anisotropy in urban areas. QuikSCAT L1B σ observations are compared for urban, non-urban, and un...
